A vehicle includes a dashboard having an underside that extends over a foot well, a floor having a base portion and an inclined portion that at least partially defines the foot well and extends vehicle-upward and vehicle-forward from the base portion beneath the dashboard, a seating assembly that corresponds with the foot well and includes a seat base and a seatback, and a foot rest positioned vehicle-upward of the inclined portion of the floor and having an upper support surface configured to support the feet of an occupant of the seating assembly. The foot rest is at least one of positioned within the foot well and at least partially defining the foot well.

An automatic slack adjuster (1, 101, 201) for braking systems of automotive vehicles, in particular for drum brakes of commercial vehicles, includes a lever (3, 103, 203) configured to be operatively coupled to a push rod (117, 217) of a brake actuator, and to pivot about a rotational axis (R) when actuated by the push rod (117, 217), the rotational axis (R) having a predetermined fixed location relative to the vehicle. The stroke level of the slack adjuster (1, 101, 201) is moveable between a predetermined zero stroke position (7a, 107a, 207a) and a working stroke range (7b). The invention furthermore relates to a braking system (100) for an automotive vehicle and a wheelset (200) can include the slack adjuster. An electronic detection unit (98, 109, 209) determines the current stroke level of the automatic slack adjuster (1, 101, 201).

A disc brake apparatus structured such that, on receiving a pressing force from an operating spring, a piston arranged within a cylinder formed in a caliper body presses a piston side pad. The disc brake apparatus includes a support part formed in a part of the caliper body, a reaction force receiver provided on and projected from the lateral side of the piston and opposed to the support part, and cam parts interposed between the support part and the reaction force receiver and, on receiving a rotation force, capable of spreading the distance between the support part and the reaction force receiver to thereby release the pressing force.

An electromechanical brake and an operating method thereof are disclosed. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there may be provided an electromechanical brake including: a piston which is provided to be capable of advancing and retreating to press a pad plate; a power conversion unit including a spindle which rotates by receiving a driving force from an actuator, and a nut which is connected to the spindle and advances or retreats by rotation of the spindle in a first direction or a second direction; and a positioning portion which is screwed with a thread formed inside the piston, receives a rotational force from a drive motor, linearly moves according to rotational movement, and adjusts a relative position of the piston with respect to the power conversion unit, wherein the positioning portion includes a first screw provided on an outer surface of one side of the nut and having, on an outer peripheral surface, a first thread that meshes with the thread, a second screw provided on an outer side surface of the other side of the nut and having, on an outer peripheral surface, a second thread that meshes with the thread, a first gear provided to rotate together with the second screw by receiving the rotational force from the drive motor, and an interlocking member provided between the first screw and the second screws to interlock and linearly move the first and second screws by the rotation of either the first screw or the second screw and adjust a relative position with the piston.
